The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 144 Boba Milk Tea
The unassuming Chen Pingsheng set off on his bicycle, which cost over 200,000 yuan.

To be honest, this thing isn't comfortable to ride just because you have a lot of money.

He still misses the kind of bicycle he used to ride when he was a child, the one with the bigger seat.

It's very comfortable to sit on.

Unlike this Trek bicycle, which is essentially a small triangle and offers only average comfort.

Riding a bicycle after having money feels completely different from before.

He was particularly easygoing and nonchalant.

Thinking about this, he decided to buy an electric Yadea to ride.

Bai Xin and her friends' favorite milk tea shop is one near the university gate. It's very small, a storefront of less than ten square meters.

The two girls inside were both senior students and shared a dorm room.

When their studies became easier in their junior year, the school started requiring internships, so the two girls decided to open a small milk tea shop.

The money to invest in this store was pooled together by the four girls from our dorm.

They both like drinking milk tea and also like researching it. Plus, one of the girls is the most beautiful girl in her department, and the other is the most beautiful girl in the school.

Business was pretty good after it opened.

It's really novel for college students to start their own businesses.

There have been some high school dropouts who started businesses and became very successful, a typical example being Han Han, who wrote books.

It's late October, and the daily temperature in Beijing has dropped to around ten degrees Celsius. You need to wear a slightly thicker coat to go out every day.

Chen Pingsheng rode for about twenty minutes, and his speed was not slow.

The sun was shining brightly, with a slight chill in the air of early winter. There were still a few people queuing in front of the small milk tea shop.

The two girls inside also had the innocent smiles that only college students have.

"Uncle, please order your own milk tea. We have fruit flavors and pearl milk tea."

When it was Chen Pingsheng's turn, he looked at the list and found it to be quite simple, and the price was cheap.

"Girl, how many cups do you sell in a day?"

Inside, Chu Qiuyan was wearing a small hat and a work uniform she designed herself, inspired by the brand "BoBo Milk Tea".

"About a hundred cups, I guess." Chu Qiuyan asked him, "Uncle, is this your first time here?"

"Yes, I heard about it from my colleague. She said your milk tea is delicious."

"Hey you up ahead, are you going to buy anything or not? If you're going to chat us up, don't waste our time."

"Exactly, he's over thirty and still hitting on college girls, isn't he ashamed?"

Chen Pingsheng wasn't embarrassed. He turned his head and glanced at the person who said that, guessing that most of them were trying to get him to strike up a conversation.

"Excuse me, just give me one of your best milk teas."

"Okay, uncle, please wait a moment."

The college girl, Chu Qiuyan, was quite polite.

He's already over thirty, and these college girls look like young girls to him now.

Chu Qiuyan made him a cup of her specialty mango smoothie and delivered it to him very quickly.

Since there wasn't much to do in the afternoon, Chen Pingsheng sat down with his milk tea.

When it was the turn of the boys behind him, their predictions were pretty much the same.

Buying milk tea is just a pretense; the real purpose is to woo the milk tea girl.

These young people are really direct when it comes to picking up girls these days. One guy, driving a Mercedes-Benz C-Class, just showed off the Mercedes logo and asked Chu Qiuyan for her WeChat.

Some people even take out their luxury watches to show off.

In short, the wealthy flaunt their money.

Some writers deliberately omitted the lines about romance and nature.

Those who are good-looking also like to act a bit aloof.

Beautiful women are only not a rare resource at a high level; in the world of ordinary people, they are indeed a scarce resource.

"I mean, you guys don't come here every day, do you?"

"Sir, we're about the same age as this bubble tea shop owner. You're probably ten years older than her, aren't you? You're trying to 'eat young grass' like an old cow?"

Having been rejected so many times, they naturally categorized Chen Pingsheng with them.

"No," Chen Pingsheng said calmly, "I just wanted to know the real situation here. I mean, it's quite impressive that so many of you came here to chase after her." "That's because you don't know how good Boss Qiuyan is."

A young man said confidently, "If you knew even a little about this Qiuyan girl, you'd probably be just like us."

"Oh~" Chen Pingsheng became a little interested: "Then please tell me about it."

"Why should I tell you this?"

They said they wouldn't tell him, but just asked around and someone next to him who looked older than him blurted it all out to him.

Chu Qiuyan's family was of very modest means. She had lived with her grandmother since she was a child, and she also had a younger sister.

At her age, with good grades and a beautiful appearance, she shouldn't have needed to worry about making money at all.

It's a pity that she had to take care of her grandmother and younger sister from junior high school onwards.

She learned how to make milk tea while working a summer job during junior high school.

Back then, things were simpler. Later, whenever she had a holiday or some free time, she would help out at the bubble tea shop.

By high school, I was able to make all sorts of milk tea in my dorm room.

With this skill, he managed to take care of his grandmother and younger sister while studying in high school.

In college, with the help of his three roommates, he opened this small bubble tea shop.

"Brother, marrying a woman like that would surely bring blessings to three generations."

"That's true." Chen Pingsheng nodded.

"So tell me, was it wrong of me to go to such lengths to pursue her?"

Chen Pingsheng shook his head: "That's right."

“I believe that one day my sincerity will move the heavens. If I can marry her, my eighty-year-old mother will probably jump for joy.”

"Brother, you must be seven or eight years older than me, right?"

"It's never too late to fall in love. It's only at our age that we've learned to cherish people. To be honest, I've just been divorced twice."

Wow... this guy is really talented.

Chen Pingsheng turned to look at Chu Qiuyan, who was still busy, and was surprised to find that she had such a background.

If what this guy says is true, then this girl is truly a wonderful person.

After they finished their work, Chen Pingsheng approached them again and said, "Miss Qiuyan, I overheard some things about you outside and I'd like to invite you to dinner. Is there any chance?"

"Uncle, there are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, people who want to treat Qiuyan to a meal. If you're going to wait in line, you'll have to come back next year."

The girl next to Qiu Yan was her best friend, who was also her protector.

His fierce look is actually quite cute.

"Please don't misunderstand, both of you."

Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "I'm not like those people. Besides, I've been married and have children. I love my wife very much. I just wanted to talk to you about making money."

"Uncle, you're so out of touch. No matter what method you use, my Qiuyan will never go out to eat with you."

Zhao Feifei put her hands on her hips, striking a pose like a female hooligan, raising her head, tucking in her stomach, and puffing out her chest.

Judging by appearances, it's an A.

It doesn't puff up at all, but it's still quite cute.

The most beautiful girl in the university department, of course, is quite attractive.

"Alright!" Chen Pingsheng pulled out his business card from his pocket. It was very simple, with only his name and phone number.

"My secretary specifically recommended you to me. Since I can't get you to come, let's have her come over tomorrow."

Chen Pingsheng rode his newly bought Trek bicycle home.

He wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, he thought the girl was quite nice.

Girls should know how to protect themselves.

I originally wanted to leave her with a cool and reliable image of her back.

Who knows which little bastard littered and threw a beer bottle on the curb?

I almost tripped and fell.

"At his age, he still likes to brag."

Zhao Feifei snorted twice: "Riding a beat-up bicycle and calling himself a secretary? Why doesn't he just say he's a billionaire?"
